1970 Ford Mustang Mach I 428CJ Fastback
VIN: 0F05R152481
Fresh off the rotisserie, this 428 Cobra Jet 1970 Mach 1 has been
restored with an emphasis on returning the R-code Mustang to its
as-delivered condition. Using NOS components whenever possible, the
restoration of this rare Mach 1 included proper chalk marks and
assembly-line stickers, correct overspray pattern and red-oxide
primer on the undercarriage, date-coded Carlite glass and rewebbed,
date-coded seat belts, the rear belts encased in plastic as
delivered to the dealer. Introduced as a separate Mustang model in
1969, the Mach 1 roared into its second model year with a more
European look for the slightly restyled 1970 Mustang, which brought
back the two-headlight front end. Along with Competition
Suspension, the Mach 1 package added a visual muscle-car image with
grille-mounted driving lights, black hood paint and decal stripes,
hood scoop, twist-type hood locks, aluminum rocker panels,
color-keyed racing mirrors, blackout honeycomb rear panel, pop-open
gas cap and oval exhaust tips. The drivetrain in this Mach 1 is one
of Ford’s supercar best: the 428 Cobra Jet with functional Shaker
hood scoop, 4-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter and
9-inch rear axle with 3.50:1 gears in Traction-Lok differential.
The R-code 428 is date-code correct and comes with the original
Holley 4-barrel carburetor, intake and distributor, plus the
hard-to-find factory emissions equipment. Adding to the Mustang’s
collectability is its rare combination of Grabber Orange exterior
and White Corinthian Mach 1 interior with high-back bucket seats,
woodgrain trim and console. Factory-optional equipment includes
power steering, power front disc brakes, rear-window sport slats,
rear spoiler and Magnum 500 wheels with the correct Goodyear
Polyglas tires. With only test miles driven since its restoration,
the Cobra Jet Mach 1 comes with a Marti Report and an extensive
photo album that showcases the date codes.
